Description
1st press red polydor labels, mega thick vinyl, 1st press matrix, 1st press inner and 1st press laminated cover. This LP is simply impossible to find and extremely RARE!!
ARTIST: Second Hand
TITLE: Reality
VINYL CONDITION (VISUAL): EX, The record surface is fantastic! Super clean copy, shiny, intense black with only hairlines and some wispy lines visible under bright halogen light. In normal light the vinyl looks M(-). I have no doubt that record dealers would call this M-.
VINYL CONDITION (PLAY GRADE): EX(++) Only a bit of very light surface static here and there (in some run in grooves, really low level and not in the music at all). This will be one of the best copies you'll ever find, Fact! The record was played very loud so as to miss nothing and there was NO repeated clicks/ pops etc...Play graded on a Rega P3-24 deck. Denon amp.,.
SLEEVE CONDITION: The sleeve has some wear but no serious problems. Sticker pull (not tear) on the lamination (top right) see photos and put a grade on it yourself. Please see notes for more info.
LABEL: Polydor 583045 Stereo
MATRIX: A1/ B1
NOTES: I was always lead to believe that the in-built cover wear was a bit of a pun on the group's name. In all my years of record collecting I've never seen wear like that on a laminated sleeve. Yes, on record sleeves from the USA where this kind of ring wear is very frequent.
I had another copy of this up last year and a nice gentleman contacted me about this. He stated that according to the band's producer / manager, the wear is a result of poorly applied metallic ink. It seems plausible as the so called in-built wear is different on all covers, but I don't know. Please check the photos with the zoom in and come to your own conclusions.
PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS. Many rare psychedelic records listed
All records are placed in a new paper white inner sleeve and placed in a master bag (white card sleeve). The cover will be placed in a new re-sealable plastic sleeve and placed in a new plastic outer sleeve.
